Tulumba tatlısı (too-LOOM-bah TAHT-luh-suh) is a crispy, syrupy, and ultra-sweet Turkish dessert. It is a popular street food prepared by vendors who fry it up fresh on the spot and serve it warm. You’ll also find it served in many restaurants and home cooks like to make it because kids love it.

Tulumba is made of bits of fried dough, similar to doughnuts, steeped in lots of lemony syrup. The dough contains starch and semolina, which keeps it light and crispy.

To make this classic Turkish sweet at home, you’ll need a pastry bag with a star tip and a deep skillet for frying. It might be difficult to get the shapes perfect at first but after a few tries, you will get the hang of it.
